Dance Styles Defined

DK Dance Productions’ instructors teach classes in over 10 different styles of dance. Each style is taught with our signature care for the student and love of the art. Our dance instructors will do everything possible to ensure that our dance students get the most out of their experience. That being said, we recognize that knowing what the styles of dance are and the music that is used in the classes can impact new students.

DK Dance Productions has classes in the following arts to suit all levels of student:
